Step through glass into humidity that feels alive: a vertical rainforest pressing green leaves and whispering waterfalls against the dome. The Green Planet at City Walk compresses jungle scale into four levels—the Canopy, Midstory, Forest Floor and Flooded Rainforest—so you move upward through temperature, light and sound as if climbing a living building. Birds skitter and a sloth unhurriedly claims a branch; water finds its own route and dares you to follow.
